Heather Cox Richardson notes that Trump and his allies did not want the federal government to cut interest rates, as it just did — regardless of the hurt that not cutting interest rates would inflict on Americans. Lowering interest rates now is a political move, Trump's folks maintain, one designed to help Kamala Harris.
Richardson cites Philip Gourevitch:

“Trump has been begging officials worldwide not to do the right thing for years to help rig the election for him—no deal in Gaza, no defense of Ukraine, no Kremlin hostages release, no border deal, no continuing resolution, no interest rate cuts etc—just sabotage & subterfuge.”

Then Richardson adds:
"That impulse to focus on regaining power rather than serving the country was at least part of what was behind Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance’s lie about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio."

"The reward that the Haitian community in Springfield has received for doing exactly what Republicans demand of legal immigrants—work, provide for themselves, contribute to their community—is a campaign of slander and intimidation."

As Kaili Joy Gray reports, J.D. Vance informed a North Carolina audience yesterday that though we all know the Haitian immigrants he and Trump are attacking in Ohio are legal immigrants, he intends to keep calling them illegal — just because. Because truth is not what matters to him and Trump and to their followers….

/5JD Vance vows to keep spreading racist lies about his own constituents
Ohio Sen. JD Vance doesn’t care that his racist lies about Haitian immigrants are endangering his own constituents—he’s going to keep telling them anyway. That was his message to supporters at a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday when he complained...

@wdlindsy Reckless diesregard of the truth and knowingly making false claims. Even though a public figure, he seems liable for what he has done to Springfield.

@wdlindsy As a primer, the Trumpets should watch The Music Man and visualize River City as symbolic of the USA, while keeping in mind, DJT is a 1000x worse than Harold Hill. Harold Hill just wanted to fleece them and abscond, not become their War Lord.

If he's calling legal immigrants illegal, despite knowing the truth, this certainly raises the question of WHAT exactly makes an immigrant legal in Vance's mind. -
William Lindsey :toad:replied to Osteopenia Powers last edited by
@Osteopenia_Powers I think Vance's ideology is clear about the fact that only white Christian immigrants deserve to be treated as legal.

@MoiraEve I agree. Because they're pushing a theory of the unitary executive, they imagine the president can snap her fingers and anything can be done. It doesn't work that way — though they'd like for it to do so if they regain the White House.

@wdlindsy @Osteopenia_Powers Isn’t his wife an immigrant? For that matter, Trmps parents weren’t born in the US either, and 3 of his 4 wives have been foreign.
Borders are stupid. Being afraid of immigrants is stupid. The entire GOP is stupid. Frankly, everything is stupid, and if the universe would just acknowledge me as the rightful leader of the world, I would sort this nonsense out. ️🥳
